Isaiah 52 7. THE WAR TO END ALL WARS! ■•*ti i . . • . In the hearts of all is the hope and on the lips of each, the prayer that the war just fought, will be a war to end forever, all war. Men, who are wise and of wide vision have already drawn up and are still formulating laws and plans in an indeavoi- to make permanent peace a reality; to provide security from fear and lack for all the peoples of the earth; to keep aggressor countries under surveillance, so that peace will be maintained even if this must be accomplished by force. Will a forced peace ever be a real or a lasting peace? Will laws and plans, however good and far reaching, permanently abolish personal greed, hatred, racial prejudice, lust for power, and fear, which are the causes of war? While legislation and organization may help re \ J strain certain people, groups, or nations from ex ploiting, for thejr groups, or nations, they never can guarantee lasting peace. Lasting peace can only be [ j maintained when each individual who goes to make up the nation becomes aware of and eradicates from his own consciousness every adverse thought that ill makes for war. This global war raged because the fears, hatreds, j g|i lusting after power, racial and religious prejudices! | have been allowed to lodge and grow strong in our minds and take over the control of our words and 111 actions. These thoughts which cause conflict have if| their inception in our minds, so it is in our minds that the war to end all wars was fought and won. | As a river can rise no higher than its source, so a I nation can rise no higher than the consciousness of e the whole of its people; for the nation is the people. | To end war for all time we must change negative I j thinking to positive thinking. We can do this and I end war forever by gettnig back to understanding, I and living on this foundation of Truth “One God and I Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in I all”; and then maintaining rigid individual obedience I to the instructions of Jesus: “Love your enemies, j bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate | you. and pray for them which despitefully use you I and persecute; that ye may be the children of your I Father. I ; The war to end all wars is indeed one that must be I fought within our mind. When the inner battle is | won the outer battling will disappear. Men will dwell , in peace and discover, “how good and how pleasant I | it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” I Subscribe now for The Black Mountain News I nri.r sr-:r: vret: I!■ A STATION I I 8 Tour Friendly Gulf Servant M ’ H I p vG’LAR FELLERS-Forgery to Order '"' ' I il S' 0 ■ / TO SEE ONE.

We are not lacking- in abil ity to produce tremendous quanti ties of materials, but pride in fine craftsmanship has become very scarce- The standards of the an- I cient guilds that kept the mem- ] j bers aware of the beauty and ex cellence of the product have been lowered by their modern counter parts. Rare and welcomed in-! deed are the remaining craftsmen of today who are willing to pay the price in training and labor that produces a fine product— whatever the product may be. This change in the attitudes of our day goes deeper than the sur- j face observation. It is a failure in our characters. We busy our selves with many things and dash madly in many directions, and we leave no time for constructive work and thinking. We let oth- ! ers do our thinking for us, and we would feel lazy if we sat quietly long enough to work out an ade quate philosophy of life. But thinking through a problem care- j fully and quietly is often the | quickest way to a real solution of the problem. The craftsman will produce a work of art worthy of a master; most of us are afraid the product of such labor would hard ly bring the best price. Too many will produce something for the next market, the craftsman will produce something for eternity. One of the changes that must take place within us is to set our minds on the next generation, not j the next season. If Jesus Christ had had his mind set on the next year he' would have escaped from those who destroyed him. But he had his mind on eternity, and noth ing can destroy such a life. About 90,000,000 gallons of oil were destroyed at the Rangoon refineries in Burma when the Burmese wrecked their oil king- 1 dom upon the invasion of the Jap- ' anese. SEND F-T vo TT rt _ .
